How do we make billionaires pay their fair share into Social Security?
By making them contribute at the same rate as the rest of us, all year long.
Doing so would mean we could afford to protect and expand benefits through the rest of the century!
ALT A graphic with a red filtered photo of Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Dean Ball. The text says, "Working-class people pay into Social Security with every paycheck. If AI oligarchs like Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Open AI’s Dean Ball, who called it “fraud,” contributed to Social Security at the same rate as the rest of us, we could protect and expand benefits for decades to come!"

A while ago I mentioned that Bruce Boxleitner and I were helping Warners with the launch of their Babylon 5 YouTube channel. As part of that, the first of three brand new half-hour-plus interviews/discussions between me and Bruce will go online on Monday.

Mom’s Mom’s Mom graduated from college in 1910. Mom’s Mom’s Mom couldn’t vote until she was 31. I can vote. I DO vote. I don’t take it for granted.

News via her friend Hattie Hayridge that the actress Gilly Brown, Ohica in The Brain of Morbius, has died. RIP Gilly : she was a lot of fun by all accounts.

Your boss didn't give you a 3 day weekend out of kindness.
A protest march in New York in 1882 by 10,000 union workers did that.
Thank a Union member. Happy Labor Day.

Not to add to the discourse, but…
It’s ‘toe the line,’ not ‘tow the line.’
It’s ‘free rein,’ and not ‘free reign.’
It’s ‘eke out,’ not ‘eek out.’
It’s ‘sleight of hand,’ not ‘slight of hand.’
It's ‘Anchors aweigh,’ and not ‘Anchor's away!’

After Trump gutted the IRS workforce — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires — the agency's annual audit revenue plunged by 35%.
Trump's attacks on the IRS were never about "efficiency."
They were about making it easier for the wealthy and powerful to skirt what they owe.
